I grew up in a family where my father came from a very poor family of 9 children and my mother grew up in a family of 5 children.  Both of them grew up in Crosby Ironton, Minnesota.  Dad was so poor that the brothers had to loan their shoes and clothes to the other siblings in order to go to school.  Dad saw many of the fathers of his school friends lose their lives when the mines they were working in collapsed.  From that point on, he became an active advocate for the underdog and never stopped.  He taught us kids to be compassionate and advocate for the families that had bad luck or less opportunities because they were poor.  I had no choice but be inspired to advocate for others.. When I graduated from the U of M, women were encouraged to choose teaching, nursing and or secretarial work.  I graduated from the College of Education, but longed to be a lawyer that at that time was not an acceptable choice for a woman.  After the birth of my third child, women were enrolling in law school in waves.  I was thrilled to join the wave and started my first year at Hamline Law School when my youngest, was 6 months old..

In my free time I sing and play keyboard in a rock band called The Long Odds with my husband and friends.

I earnestly strive to provide my clients guidance and understanding throughout the representation. I realize when one hires an attorney, it is often because the individual is going through a difficult time in his or her life. To me it is important to develop a level of trust.  My practice focuses on the client, whether it be complex family law issues, sports & entertainment advise and representation and/or entirely litigation oriented. I take the time to listen, validate and truly understand the issue(s) presented from my client's perspective, explain the relevant legal principles I see as applicable, all to create an individualized strategy for each client in order to reach the most favorable outcome.  To date I have been extremely successful with this approach.  If I can be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me for a confidential initial consultation.
